When I try and send btc I get this error:

Transaction needs a change address, but we can't generate it. Please call keypoolrefill first. I've called keypoolrefill from the console and it seems to run without error. However It has no effect and I remain unable to send.

I believe this has to do with using and old wallet (2010) which I added a passphrase to using 0.20.0 but otherwise remains untouched. Really would like to access these old funds but can't seem to figure out how.

Currently trying this on 0.21.0 on Windows 10.

Make sure to backup your wallet and share the output of upgradewallet RPC
